"The right to do ______ with my own body" has always struck me as the kind of pre-emptive lingo that makes people hate liberals. Cuz if other people didn't think there was an other's body involved, there would be no abortion furor. It's a way of trying to make the opposition just go POOF with self-righteous verbiage.
Also I said strident lesbian activists, cuz that's what the Citizen Ruth guerillas are, and if you don't see why such people making abortion their #1 issue is funny...

Chicago recorded its fewest murders last year in more than four decades, an unofficial tally shows.
Chicago had 442 homicides in 2007, 25 fewer than in 2006, Monique Bond, spokeswoman for the Chicago Police Department, said today. In 2004, Chicago had 448 homicides, then the lowest since 1965, when there were 395.

Plus there is no more reason for it to be mock-worthy for someone to make abortion their #1 issue than it is for someone to make (again) child abuse their #1 issue. Or immigrant rights, or wife-beating, or whatever matters to a person.

I'm guessing that Morbs means that lesbians are unlikely to get accidentally pregnant. But that 1) assumes lesbians cannot bet pregnant as the result of rape; and 2) forgets that reproductive justice is about much, much more than just being able to terminate a pregnancy. It's also about the right of women, including lesbians, to access ART and adoption services, and to keep their children that they bore prior to coming out as a lesbian (which is how the majority children of lesbian mother's originated). So abortion is just but one element of a larger tapestry of reproductive rights in which lesbians have as much, if not more, legitimate interest.

Also, Morbs, if your opposition to abortion is that aborting a fetus is equivalent to killing a living thing, I must ask what punishment you think is appropriate for a woman who gets an abortion.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 2 January 2008 20:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Jenny, I recognize those issues re lesbians exist. Also, I think you meant "equivalent to killing a human," because an ant is a living thing and there is no penalty.
And I am not discussing my views on that issue on the Internet. It's like arguing about the sunrise.

Having considered it and swept aside knee-jerk reactions, I would have to say that the decision of when when a pregnancy should or should not be kept (because of the fetus being a human or not) is a decision that the pregnant person has a right to decide far more than a legislator or *any other* party involved.
